From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David Freiberg (born August 24, 1938) is an American musician, vocalist, and bass guitar player with Quicksilver Messenger Service and Jefferson Starship.

David Freiberg was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and founded Quicksilver Messenger Service with John Cippolina. Freiberg was in his late twenties by the time Quicksilver rose to prominence. He began as a coffee house folk musician and for a while shared a house in Venice, California with other future folk-rockers David Crosby and Paul Kantner. Janis Joplin was also one of his roommates. In 1972 Freiberg joined Jefferson Airplane. The band eventually evolved into Jefferson Starship, and Freiberg remained with the group until 1984.

After a two decade hiatus Freiberg rejoined Jefferson Starship for their 2005 tour which was billed as "The Jefferson Family Galactic Reunion" and has continued to appear with them in 2007.

Freiberg is married to the singer Linda Imperial and resides in Marin County, California.
